"Most men hit their peak at 28 and from their it takes longer to recover", that’s what my ortho doc said to me a few months when I had him take a look at my shoulder and it’s been stuck in my head ever since.  It is true, it seems like my workouts and flag football take their toll on me but I fight through the soreness and pain and keep telling myself that the stronger I get the less the pain will be.  I’ll be 34 next month and I’m feeling great, I hit the gym 4-5 days a week and play football on Tuesday nights so I am definitely doing my part to slow down the age clock.

I am very grateful that my wife is in to fitness as well and we both push each other to improve and do more, she hit a person best yesterday on the bench press with 100lbs.  I was there to spot her and the smile on her face afterwards was amazing and pushed me to go harder in my workout.  My legs were still sore from Tuesday night but I pushed through my leg workout today, capped off squats with a final set of 6 @ 205.  My weight has been holding steady at around 162 so I am happy with my progress.  Sometime I like feeling sore but some mornings I just want to stay in bed with ice, advil and tiger balm til the pain goes away.
